Philadelphian
Jazz legend Benny Golson, an American bebop/hard bop jazz tenor
saxophonist, composer, and arranger, has had a long and storied career.
He has played with luminaries such as John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and
Art Blakey, to name just a few. His credentials are rock solid and his
skills as a tenor sax legend are undisputed.
With
his 1978 album I'm Always Dancin' To The Music, Benny Golson takes a
unique turn. Known primarily for his hard bop roots and classic
compositions like "Whisper Not" and "Killer Joe," Golson steps into the
realms of jazz-funk and disco with this release, reflecting the musical
trends of the late 1970s.
The
title song is a stellar dance groove, holding heavyweight status among
underground soul, funk, and jazz aficionados--a true 'rare groove'
indeed. Produced by George Butler, whose credentials are no less than
impressive, it's no wonder the instrumental hook of this title song has
been sampled many times by artists such as Naughty by Nature, Logistics,
Leona Lewis, and many others.
Everything
of this album--music, engineering, mastering--is top-notch, making this
somewhat of an audiophile release as well. This is a real hidden gem and
well worth seeking out!
